I’m excited to share this really great challenge that I came across with you. It can be a great way to begin removing refined sugars from your diet. Are you ready to go to food rehab and let go of some of the most addicting foods for 21 days? For June 2014, Freestyle Fitness is doing a 21 Day Food Rehab Restart. This month we want to let go of the junk, but also find out why you are addicted. We want to lay down our food addictions and pick up an understanding of the REAL reason why we look to food for comfort, love, peace, etc. Are you ready to change what you eat and let go of your emotional attachment for 21 days? The challenge ends on 6/23/14.

3.Complete this worksheets

I will be posting worksheets and resources this month to help you understand why you are using food to self medicate and where your food addictions are coming from. Here is a resource for week 1:

Check out the list below for lean proteins and whole carbs that you can focus on eating to replace the junk. These foods will help you to feel full and satisfied. I suggest you eat 4-6 small meals a day so that you don’t get hungry. This will also help to keep your blood sugar stable. Split up your calories. For example: 1600 calories a day could be 4 meals of 400 calories per meal. Ultimately, You want to eat clean and stay away from refined grains and anything that says “enriched” or “high fructose corn syrup” on the label.

Proteins: You want sources of protein that are low in saturated fat and added carbs.
